G.  ^Y.  CARLETON : 

To  you,  my  esteemed  friend, 
I  dedicate  this  little  book,  which,  in  part,  owes  its 
style  and   character  to  your  efforts, 

"We  have  toiled  over  its  pages  hand  in  hand, 
till  it  has  assumed  its  present  complete  form. 

Whatever  in  this  book  is  untrue,  or  uncertain, 
or  incomplete,  belongs  to  you ;  whatever  is  true,  or 
noble,  or  helpful  is  mine. 

Your  friend, 

Fkank  Bellew. 

New  York,  November,  1877.

IVo,  I  i¥oul(l  not  be  a  peaeh-

Mental  Thistles. 


Why  does  an  Ass 

Prefer  thistles  to  grass  ? 

Is  a  puzzle  to  many  no  doubt ; 

But  the  answer  comes  swift,  as  a  Hash  from  the 
skies, 

And  if  it's  not  witty  it  is  not  unwise  : — 

The  brute  turns  away  with  contempt  from  the 
grass, 

For  the  plain  simple  reason ^Ijecause  he's  an 

ass. 


Wliy  does  not  the  fool  prefer  virtue  to  vice  ? 

When  one  is  so  vile  the  other  so  nice. 

The  answer  we  find,  by  the  veiy  same  rule. 

The  iool prefers  vice,  just  because  he's  a  fool. 

38 


Here  is  an  as^« 

Can  an  a^s  fly  ? 

Oh  no,  an  a^s  can  not 
fly,  but  a  grood  many  have 
tried— in  a  balloon. 

39 


A  Place  for  Everything  and  Every- 
thing in  its  Place. 


"Order  is  heaven's  first  law," — this  being 
the  case,  the  boy  in  the  opposite  picture  is 
perfectly  justified  in  kicking  the  pig  out 
of  the  house.  Perhaps  he  is  kicking  him  a 
little  higher  than  is  absolutely  necessary, 
but  still  'tis  better  to  kick  a  pig  high, 
than  to  break  the  first  law  of  heaven.  What 
a  pity  is  it  that  all  such  animals  cannot  be 
kicked  out  of  their  wrong  places  into  their 
right  places  !  for,  of  course  every  created  thing 
has  a  right  place,  somewhere.  A  great  states- 
man once  said,  "dirt  is  only  matter  in  the  wrong 
place."  Alas !  wdiat  a  pity  there  are  not  always 
nice  boys  like  the  one  in  our  cartoon  with  big 
feet  and  the  rectus  femoris  well  developed,  to 

eject  people  from  their  wrong  places ! 

40 


That  i^  ri^ht.  Kick  the  pigr 
out   of   the    hou^e. 

The  pi^  should  he  in  the  sty 
or  in  the  mud* 

He  must  not  live  in  the 
house* 

41 


Rural  Scene. 


See,  tliere  Is  an  Agriculturist.  He  reclines 
against  the  ligneous  handle  of  one  of  nature's 
sun-shades.  There  is  bucolic  youth  seated  on  a 
prostrate  column,  he  has  a  hoe,  it  is  a  nice  hoe. 
There  is  an  equestrian  animal  and  a  bovine 
animal.  There  is  a  swine,  and  a  canine  and  a 
feline.  Tb^^  ^anine  is  a  good  canine  ;  he  says 
bow — wow — wow,  but  he  will  not  hurt  the 
feline.  The  feline  catches  rats  and  mice  and 
birds  and  hooks  the  butter  off  the  breakfast- 
table.  There  is  a  hen  and  a  duck  and  a  bird 
on  the  fence.  The  hen  lays  eggs  and  incubates. 
The  duck  is  a  rara  avis  on  the  tables  of  the  poor 
but  Adolphus  shall  have  some  for  dinner  one 
day.  It  is  not  w^'ong  for  a  bird  to  be  on  the 
fence.  There  is  a  church ;  Adolphus  should  go 
to  church  every  Sunday  for  there  he  will  acquire 
ecclesiastical,  ethical  and  religious  knowledge 
which  will  make  Adolphus  a  good  and  wise  boy. 
We  have  forgotten  the  goat.  There  is  a  goat. 
The   goat  is    a    ruminant   animal   which  eats 

brown  paper  and  says  "  Ba-a-a-h ! '' 

42 


Why  is  this  sin§riilar  old 
man  standing:  here?  He  lias 
some  cnrrency  in  his  hand. 
He  bori'o^ved  it  from  that^ 
other  old  man— but  he  did 
not  ask  his  permission.  He 
belong^s  to  that  relig^ious  seet 
called  kleiitomaniaes.

IITED  STATEUMUEANCE  CO. 

This  company  is  one  of  the  oldest  in  this  city,  and  has  a  high 
reputation  for  conservative  and  skilful  management.  Its  Board 
of  Directors  comprises  a  number  of  the  best  known,  most  influ- 
ential, and  wealthiest  of  our  merchants  and  bankers.  Its  officers 
are  men  of  proved  integrity  and  ability. 

The  annual  statement,  submitted  last  January,  and  accepted 
by  the  State  Commissioner  of  Insurance  as  correct,  shows  the 
assets  to  be  $4,654,274,  and  the  surplus,  as  already  stated,  to  be 
over  $800,000,  or  more  than  twenty  per  cent,  of  all  the 
liabilities. 

The  United  States  Life  Insurance  Co.  is  known  in  Life  Insur- 
ance circles  as  one  of  the  most  carefully  handled  institutions  in 
the  city. 

So  well  has  it  been  managed  that  its  business  has  increased 
rather  than  retrograded  during  the  past  yiar,  as  bad  as  it  has 
been  for  all  kinds  of  business.  And  its  losses  have  been  less 
this  year  than  in  any  of  the  five  preceding. 

Its  officers  are  among  the  best  known  and  most  highly 
esteemed  citizens  of  New  York.  James  Bdell,  Esi].,  the  Presi- 
dent, is  the  President  of  the  Importers  and  Traders'  Bank,  a 
man  whose  name  is  a  synonym  for  integrity  and  skill  in  finance, 
and  its  stockholders  are  men  equally  well  known  in  l>usiness 
circles,  and  hold  an  equal  share  of  public  esteem.
